Really tasty veggie curry rice at Cafe Nasaka, #Sabang, #Aceh. Lots of good, flavorful spice. Anise and cardamom pods galore. I had a very good local Acehnese coffee here earlier in the afternoon so I came back.

#AnnMayman, UNHCR’s representative in #Indonesia, says social media posts related to #Rohingya were appearing “on multiple platforms, with similar messages and it was professionally [made] content. It was not made in a fisherman’s hut on a beach in #Aceh. This was professionally-made and there were a lot of bots involved.”

Tensions have been rising in the province of #Aceh after the arrival of three boats carrying hundreds of people in just 3 days.It is rare to see so many arrivals in such a short space of time at the start of what is known as the sailing season, and refugee experts predict more boats could arrive in the coming months, given the difficult conditions in #Bangladesh and the worsening crisis in #Myanmar.

Modern Indonesian is heavy with Javanisms sometimes. But before that, there are Acehnisms in Malay language.

In seventeenth century, certain Acehnese Malay writings were criticized because Acehnisms were incomprehensible in Borneo.

Note the Acehnese language is also influenced by Malay in turn, just like there are Indonesian influences on Javanese language.
